Colleges, Law Schools Need To ‘Make Reasoned Decisions’ Before Taking Rash Steps Concerning DEI Policies – Above the Law



Ed.
note
:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,

Quote
of
the
Day
.


I
think
that
the
creation
of
chaos
certainly
seems
intentional.
That
is
making
it
very
hard
for
everyone
to
catch
their
breath
and
figure
out
the
actual
implications
of
any
one
set
of
materials.


Now
is
the
time
for
schools
to
work
with
legal
counsel
and
other
stakeholders
to
make
reasoned
decisions
about
which
programs
are
potentially
violations
of
the
new
policies.
There
is
still
time
to
engage
in
those
conversations
with
legal
counsel
and
make
measured
decisions.

in
comments
given
to

Law.com
,
on
the
“Dear
Colleague”
letter
issued
by
the
Department
of
Education
that
is
making
institutes
of
higher
education
rush
to
scrub
any
evidence
of
diversity,
equity,
and
inclusion
(DEI)
programs
and
policies
from
their
websites.



Unfortunately,
many
law
schools
have

already
taken
such
actions
.
